this meeting for obvious reasons. We must devise strategies, and
quickly! We are surrounded by enemies, powerful enemies. The
Devil himself has declared war, and pirate hoardes with strange
weapons are plundering our coast. How can we hope to win! I

the Noress are stronger that you think. They can strike the
enemy where it hurts, and Fieldmarshall Valwer is the most
skilled warrior alive! He will be able to bring down many of
the enemies men, more than you or I combined. Do not
underestimate them, your Highness!

KEVER:
^It`s all very well relying on others, Jakaris, but to defend our
own soil is the top priority here! The City Guard are our
greatest asset, for if we can hold on to our cities, the cavalry
can defeat the enemies out on the field! It won`t be easy, but
is any war? Remember the skirmishes we had with the Volten
troops last year? We used those cavalry charges to great
effect, no?

JULIAN:
^Alas, your suggestions are honest and truthful, but I fear that
normal tactics will be of little use to us now. These are not
normal enemies, after all. There is one course of action that I
have been considering for some time now, and if the tales are
true, it may prove fruitful. I believe that you all now what I
speak of, and I also now that many of you believe me to be
mad to pursue such a course of action. If any of you have
anything to say on this matter, speak now, or may the Lord
forever hold your tongues!
